Highway superintendent details equipment repairs, DEC grant window and SPDES update
Summary
Highway Superintendent Wyatt Boswell reported on truck repairs and maintenance, suggested a potential 72' x 100' hybrid building with DEC funding available May 1, and said SPDES tests have been sent to Aaron Jarvis for next steps.
Wyatt Boswell, listed in the minutes as Highway Superintendent, delivered the highway report and outlined equipment repairs and maintenance needs. Boswell described completed and pending work (brake and crankcase repairs; exhaust work; windshield and battery replacements) and recommended retiring Truck #14 because repairs were not cost-effective.
Boswell also raised capital planning and grant options: he said the town is "thinking 72' X 100' with high-top, 34' peak" for a hybrid building and noted "DEC has money available, applications open May 1st and we can start the application process." He reported SPDES tests are complete and the results were sent to Aaron Jarvis for next steps. The board declined to purchase a used live-bottom trailer at this time and instructed staff to prioritize current equipment needs instead of buying new trailers.
The report combines operational maintenance detail with possible capital investment and grant timing; any decision to pursue DEC funding or to retire/replace vehicles would need a future formal agenda item and vote.
